We report the successful treatment of three cases of traumatic ruptures of the globe complicated by massive choroidal hemorrhage, uveal prolapse and retinal detachment. All three of the eyes were aphakic prior to injury and all patients were age 64 or older. The presenting visual acuity in all patients was light perception. The blunt injury in each case caused a wound dehiscence at the site of previous cataract extraction. All injuries were associated with uveal prolapse. Secondary surgical intervention was performed when the hemorrhagic choroidal detachments had decreased as demonstrated by echography in the suprachoroidal space, occurring at an average of 14 days after injury. The management consisted of surgical drainage of the choroidal hemorrhage combined with vitrectomy and silicone oil injection. Successful reattachment of the retina was achieved in all cases. Postoperative epiretinal membranes formed in two cases but all were anatomically successful at six months. Final visual acuities varied from 20/70 to 1/200, visual acuity being a function of secondary contusive damage to the retina and choroid. We believe that in eyes sustaining severe blunt injuries resulting in rupture of the globe complicated by massive choroidal hemorrhage and retinal detachment, properly timed external drainage of the choroidal hemorrhage combined with pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection is a useful approach.

The authors examined 104 patients with penetrating ocular injuries and retained intraocular foreign bodies. Nineteen patients (18%), with 20 injured eyes, were aged 18 years or younger. Fifty percent of eyes in the young people (10/20) achieved a final visual acuity of 20/30 or better and 65% (13/20) achieved 20/100 or better. Young people were significantly more likely than adults to be injured as a result of a projectile weapon or explosion (P less than 0.001). They also had a greater incidence of an initial visual acuity worse than 5/200 (P less than 0.001), which was statistically associated with a greater incidence of hyphema (P = 0.002), retinal detachment (P = 0.022), and uveal prolapse (P = 0.082). Although the distribution of final visual acuity was not significantly different between young people and adults, the latter tended to have poorer visual outcome after adjusting for initial visual acuity (P = 0.01).

Complications of posterior sub-Tenon's steroid injections like glaucoma, cataract, sub-conjunctival hemorrhage and ptosis are well known. The authors present this photo essay to highlight a rare but serious complication of globe perforation secondary to posterior sub-Tenon's triamcinolone injection and describe its management.
